Challenges

“It’s a significant step forward, but not the final solution. Time and money are crucial in production, as is education. Why should I keep paying extra when hairstylists and makeup artists could meet these needs? Hiring professionals who can work with all textures is cost-effective and efficient. As diversity grows on screen, it will also increase behind the scenes. We’re witnessing a fundamental shift in industry practices.”

The SAG-AFTRA clause addressing hair and makeup equity signifies a historic milestone for the entertainment industry. It embodies a commitment to inclusivity and representation, addressing long standing disparities in Hollywood.

Nevertheless, the ultimate success of this agreement hinges on its implementation, sustainability, and the industry’s adaptability to change.

As we move forward, it remains imperative to persistently pose these questions and hold the industry accountable for delivering beauty equity to all performers.

This agreement is a stride in the right direction, and we’re excited to see true representation in front of and behind the camera for all.
